Chris Pratt dons 'Guardians of the Galaxy' costume to visit sick kids

Chris Pratt visited hospitalized children in his "Guardians of the Galaxy" costume.

I can't come up with a sarcastic comment for that. It's just too cool.

The actor swiped his "Star Lord" costume from the Marvel hit film and wore it Wednesday to Children's Hospital Los Angeles, where he spent more than three hours giving out "Galaxy" themed toys to children, according to E! News.

He also attended a screening of his movie, took photos with the kids, and let some of them try on his costume. He's also spent time with children too ill to attend the screening.

I think I have something in my eye ... .

Pratt, 35, said he took his costume with him so, in case the movie became a hit, he could wear it to visit sick kids.

Sniff ... these darn allergies.

"I stole the jacket and some of the wardrobe so that, if this movie comes out and does what everyone hopes it can, I can follow the example of someone -- say, like, a (Seattle Seahawks quarterback) Russell Wilson -- and go visit kids," he told Panzer TV last month.

"If it was a big enough movie to where it would mean something to a kid who's sick in the hospital for Peter Quill or Star-Lord to come visit them, I'll do that," he said. "That would give me real meaning for this movie, you know? The coolest things would be that my son can one day see this, and that maybe I can go affect some kids in a positive way, (and) be a good role model for them."
